1. You will find gray hair in places you never had gray hair before.
2. Your voice will change resulting in a more gravel like sound.
3. The body you once had will be replaced by mass of lumpy parts.
4. You will stop listening to music that sounds good.

I don’t know about all these.

I mean, I am finding gray hairs. Not on my head, mind you. But, the occasional one on my tummy or… ahem… my baby making tower’s garden. I don’t mind them. It makes my cock look sophisticated and smarter or something. I know I can rely on him to make all my decisions for me. He’s got the wispy gray curls of a tenured professor at an Ivy League school. And he is always the life of any party.Vast Aire- The Crush

In keeping with the whole sounds and pictures, and sounds that come from pictures theme….this guy (named Josh) tipped me off to the following beautiful things created by this guy (named Josh) and these guys (not named Josh):

Video: Kids & Explosions – The Experiment
Combines archival film footage with graphic/animation elements. The soundtrack uses diegetic and non-diegetic sounds produced by the film (including scratchy old film track!), mixed with Massive Attack samples (and some other song I don’t recognize). The video is kind of gross, but also totally mesmerizing.

I’m really diggin’ Music Go Music‘s Light of Love EP. Especially the song, “I Walk Alone” (buy it!). Rumor is, the lead singer is in the equally awesome band, Bodies of Water. I like new things that sound old. Future-retro, if you will (I will!).

On May 3rd, I went to my third LA Derby Dolls event. It was the LA Derby Doll All Stars versus the San Diego Derby Doll All Stars. I brought a number of new people who hadn’t been before mainly because I kept telling them how much fun it was and it’s was the only way to get me to shut up about it. One of the people I brought was my friend, Will. We are both from the same hometown. Obviously, that’s Northport. So, when the announcer at the game said… “And Gori Spelling’s mom is here all the way from Northport, NY!”… we both looked at each other and said, “Did he just say Northport?!”. We were pumped for some odd reason that someone we might know was a LA Derby Doll. Will ended up leaving before the end of the match… which was a blowout. The score was 118-14 with the winner, of course, being the LA Derby Dolls.

After the match was over, I had to find out who Gori Spelling was. I wandered around asking other Derby Dolls where she was. Finally, Krissy Krash pointed her out to me. So, I walked over and said, “Yo… NPT… Northport.” And then I recognized her and she recognized me… it was Ane! I hadn’t seen her since high school, but I remembered her.

So, we spoke a bit over MySpace and e-mails. And I got a short little interview out of her as well as a ton of pictures and videos…

Interview:OW: What do you love about roller derby?GS: What’s not to love!?! I love the athleticism, my teammates and the fact that it is such an awesome sport for women.

OW: How did you initially get into it?GS: I got into roller derby because I was looking for something athletic to do… I hate going to the gym, so I stumbled across an advertisement for a flat track roller derby league online. I had no idea it existed today as a sport, so I did some research and found out that LA had a banked track team. I went to one flat track practice and one banked track, and was instantly hooked on the banked track! That was in September 2006.

OW: Is there a player on another team that you are either scared of or love to battle with?GS: I used to be scared to death of Krissy Krash…she gave me the hardest hit of my life…but now we’re on the same team, so it’s all good!

OW: How much has it changed, if at all, since you started?GS: It’s actually changed a lot since I started, but in such a good way! Our venue has gotten bigger, and we’re selling out every game. I think the production value of our events are getting better every time, thanks to the dedicated group of girls and volunteers we have….and I think the actual playing has gotten better. As skaters, we practice a lot and we are all improving so much. And, the league just added a fourth team!

OW: What do you think of the fact that there will be a roller derby movie coming out?GS: I think it’s awesome and that it can only help our popularity grow. It will be so awesome to go to the theater and see roller derby on the big screen.

OW: And if you were portrayed in the movie, who would you want to play you?GS: Ha! Um… yeah, I have no idea. I highly doubt I’ll be portrayed in the movie, but Drew Barrymore *did* take photos of my hair at the last game… so I wouldn’t be surprised to see an actress with a mohawk!

OW: What is your favorite memory of playing so far?GS: I have a few… one would be from one of the first games in ’08 when the crowd started chanting “Gori, Gori, Gori”… Being on the jammer line with the whole place chanting your name is a crazy feeling! (oliver’s note- I was one of those people chanting)

The next match is on May 31st (A Saturday). Tickets are around 20 bucks. Plus, there is food, drink, beer, bands and vendor village. The Tough Cookies Vs. The Sirens
And they always sell out, so get your tickets now!!!Buy Them Here.

So, I hope to see every NPT peep at the next game! Come support! Plus, it’s a lot of fun and the announcers are great. I will be there cheering for Ane/Gori and the Tough Cookies!

For those of you on my e-mail list… I sent a couple of his songs out. Now, I probably didn’t really explain why other than you knew I liked it. It’s a little more in depth than that. Being that he is one half of Arab Strap, I knew of him already. And when he started putting out solo stuff, I ate it up. The weird thing is that he virtually unknown in the United States… thus adding to my anglophile nature to keep it to myself and not spout too much. Plus, he’s got a great Scottish accent that just adds so much to the songs. Anyways, I’ve decided to share. Because that’s what this life is about. Sharing, caring and blaring music.
